The Baby’s Ear
Often we wonder, will it be able to listen to our baby? Then we will know at what week of pregnancy begin to form the auditory structures. The hearing takes place fairly early in fetal life. Recent studies suggest that the fetus responds to sound at approximately 16 weeks of gestation or even as early as 12 weeks. The response to speech sounds seems to be closer to 24 weeks. What is clear is that already in the early third trimester, the fetus learns a lot from their environment through sound. In particular, pay attention to familiar voices and the language he hears around him.
The fetus hears its mother’s voice better than others, and who receives it directly through your body as vibrations, and is catching ears with sounds that occur outside the uterus. These sounds are not distorted by the heartbeat or the sound of the mother’s stomach, as these body sounds have a much more serious than the sounds of human speech. Thus people get used to having around and listen selectively sounds are familiar.
So please talk to your baby and sing many songs, because he begins to know you.

Preeclampsia is a disease that can happen in pregnancy, causing changes in the organs of the mother and may even affect the baby.

What is The Best Position to Sleep a Pregnant?
As a rule, are advised for pregnant women to avoid resting your back. They were told to sleep on her side on your left side. The literature was afraid the patient giving medical advice more important than it has and making it appear that the seem to follow no more dangerous than it really is.
The medical explanation of sleeping on your side has to do with a condition called supine hypotension syndrome. This refers to a rare condition that can occur close to delivery when a pregnant woman remains lying on your back for a while. The weight of your uterus compresses the inferior vena cava. This vein carries blood from your lower body through the abdomen, back to the heart. If this vein is compressed, less blood returns to the heart and the body reacts as if he had lost blood. The reaction is a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate elevation. The woman will feel dizzy, sweaty and have palpitations if this occurs.
So how to prevent supine hypotension syndrome is not resting on your back if your due date is close. Of course, sleep on the left side prevents this condition. It is also true that most pregnant women near term could not anyway lying on his back in view of which is a very uncomfortable position.
The fact that they recommend sleeping on the left side and not on the right is because the liver is quite large and occupies the upper right abdomen. Thus, if you sleep on your left side your uterus remains further from the vena cava if it does on its right side.
